No one mentioning a mirrorless version of the 7D. Why not? I've got to think there's a market for a very high frame rate mirrorless, even with a cropped sensor.

Wow, how would you know what people need?I am reading a lot about an assortment of various R and M series cameras supposedly coming out in 2020, but except for the R5 and possibly R6, I see little information or proposed release dates. The R6 is supposed to come out in May 2020, however I have not seen any images of this phantom model. I think that Canon should focus on what they can realistically offer the public in 2020 before they start talking about 2021. I realize that the world has changed in only a few months due to the virus. Maybe Canon and others should just shelve the idea of releasing cameras this year altogether. Its not like people really need these cameras and since travel has been curtailed, not a lot of travel photography will probably happen until 2021 anyway. Just my opinion.
I don't believe they will ever come out with RF-S type cropped sensor lenses. At the time, full frame sensors were very expensive to manufacture so it made sense to have another type of more affordable camera lens combo.No one mentioning a mirrorless version of the 7D.

And for me personally I almost never shoot without off camera strobes even outdoors so DR isn’t an issue for the way I work anyway.And honestly, Canon closed the DR gap sufficiently with the 5D4 sensor. I will always take more DR (please!) but at this point the ~half stop advantage at base ISOs is going to be less important than the rest of the camera's features. This whole "canon DR sucks" thing is a hold over from the 5D3 (and, lol, my 60D which was banding city even at a 2 stop push).
Then R8 as a MFT version and R9 as a 1" version.Since we're at the Speculation Carnival, I'm gonna aim my dart at the prospect of an R7 - APSC version..
With the EF-RF adapter, is there any reason the existing EF-S lenses (eg. 10-22m, 18-135mm) couldn’t be used on a crop-sensor R body? I can use both of these EF-S lenses , with the adapter, on my RP body. I would think the same would apply for use with a crop sensor R-mount body that could be equivalent to a 7D3. Use the M6II sensor. Canon would not have to commit to special crop lenses on a crop R body. Seems like most people here really want a crop R body for the extra reach with telephoto EF or RF glass. Nevertheless, Canon my be finished with crop sensor bodies outside the EOS-M lineup.I don't believe they will ever come out with RF-S type cropped sensor lenses.

With the current contraction in the camera market (even prior to Covid), it makes little sense to come out with yet another lens line. EOS-M will be the mirrorless crop camera from Canon going forward.
I believe Canon would like to whittle down the number of mounts from four to two in the next few years - RF and M for their ILCs.With the EF-RF adapter, is there any reason the existing EF-S lenses (eg. 10-22m, 18-135mm) couldn’t be used on a crop-sensor R body?

Yes, and the reason is the lack of a crop-sensor R body.With the EF-RF adapter, is there any reason the existing EF-S lenses (eg. 10-22m, 18-135mm) couldn’t be used on a crop-sensor R body?
Canon does not have to commit to a crop R body as well, if those lenses still work on a FF R body in the crop mode.Canon would not have to commit to special crop lenses on a crop R body.
I think the specs on the R5 are already a dream for wildlife photographers. I am certainly planning to buy it and use it for that. What more are you seeking for a wildlife rig?R1 will be a dream for wildlife

You are right. I probably should have said what people want. People always want something...Wow, how would you know what people need?

It's a build quality thing. There are others as well but an R1 will be a tank. I am sure the R5 will be tough but it wont be as tough.I think the specs on the R5 are already a dream for wildlife photographers. I am certainly planning to buy it and use it for that.

$6000-7000 is a good price range i think. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
